And can I point out to Doron that
pi is not contingent upon "circumference/diameter", it has a clearly defined value in mathematics regardless of this application in geometry (something he may want to consider when invoking the Koch-type diagrams)..
and that A Level maths students in the UK (ages 16-18) are well versed in the "sum to infinity of a geometric series" and would struggle greatly to understand one line of his explanation about why that series does NOT 'have' a finite sum.
A local number like Pi has a strict location along a given 1-dim space.
A non-local number like 3.14...[base 10] does not have a strict location along a given 1-dim space.
